Denali Dreams Rebrand & Website Update

Denali Dreams makes handcrafted, natural, Alaskan soaps, salves, and balms at their boutique factory in Anchorage.

Owner, Catlin started working for the original owners back when she was in High School and when the opportunity came to take over the reins 8 years ago she was thrilled. With a 25 year anniversary happening this year, Caitlin decided to celebrate with a refresh – a new logo, new colors and branding, and an updated website.

She asked her friend, (and long-time OTC client), Dulce, from Alaska Birch Syrup if she could recommend anyone to update the website and we’re happy to say Dulce recommended us!

This was such a lovely project to work on – having already worked with a graphic designer on her logo, Caitlin knew exactly what colors and style she wanted. She engaged a professional photographer who worked with us to make sure she not only met Caitlin’s vision but met our brief in terms of look and requirements for the website.

The end result is a wonderfully coherent and on-brand website!

Little Bears Early Learning Center Website

Little Bears Playhouse, Inc. is a non-profit childcare facility serving the families of Girdwood and the Four Valleys area of Alaska.

Director, Lauren and the Little Bears Team had been dealing with an old, clunky, outdated website and decided it was time to commission OTC to make them a new one.

OTC worked closely with Lauren and her team to design a clean, modern website, with clear simple layouts, well-organized information, and a fun, child-friendly vibe.

We were lucky enough to have Cami Lynn Grace Photography on board for this project. We welcomed the opportunity to work her beautiful, professional photographs into the new website. We’re sure you’ll agree they take it to the next level!

Paws of Hope Website

Paws of Hope is a New Zealand-based charity that raises funds to buy pet food, which is distributed through food banks and organizations supporting financially struggling families. As a new charity urgently needing an online presence with donation collection capabilities, the founder reached out to the OTC team.

Color was important to them; they wanted bright and cheerful highlights that indicated hope, suggesting chartreuse as a starting point. We created a concise palette based on this and designed a logo and website that use the colors to great effect. Along with endearing photos of cats and dogs, the design clearly conveys their message. We finished up by integrating a third-party solution called Donorbox to facilitate their donation collection requirements.

Alaska Exquisite Travel Website

Jeremy Schuler and Carissa Larson have long been eager to bring Alaska Native representation to the tourism industry in Alaska.

So they founded Alaska Exquisite Travel. They will run Anchorage-based day trips to Turnagain Arm, including glacier viewing and a wildlife tour, custom day tours, and private transfers/shuttles from Anchorage to Denali & Seward.

As a new business, they needed an attractive, high-quality website to help them establish credibility in a competitive market. As well as that, it needed to give customers all the tour information they would need and allow them to quickly and easily book online.

The OTC team made a clean and simple 6-page website that can easily be expanded in the future as Jeremy & Carissa add more tours to their portfolio. To enable easy online booking we integrated a 3rd party solution called Fareharbor and added a highly visible ‘Book Online’ button throughout the website.

We wish them the best of luck and every success with their new business!

Crow Creek Mine Website Development

Crow Creek Mine, established in 1896, offers visitors a unique chance to relive Alaska’s historic gold rush. Nestled in a beautiful mountain setting, this family-owned and operated site is both a historical and recreational gold mine and a popular tourist attraction. The mine’s website is essential for informing prospective visitors, but when the manager reached out to OTC, it wasn’t effectively meeting their needs.

Since they were pleased with the existing website’s look and feel, rather than a complete rebuild, the OTC team focused on developing it further to improve its information flow and functionality. We reorganized the content so visitors could easily find details about the activities available at the mine and their costs. After making updates over several seasons, the website now performs better than ever.

Coatings Unlimited Website

Coatings Unlimited (ICU) is an industry-leading painting and protective coating solutions company based in Seattle, WA. They’d had an under-construction page sitting on the internet for quite some time. Obviously, this really hadn’t been doing all it could to promote their business and they decided the time had come to get a website made.

The OTC team worked to ICU’s brief, designing and developing a clean, professional, and well-organized website that gives potential clients all the information they need.

ICU is pleased with the end result and so are we. They now have an attractive website that does a fantastic job of promoting their company, their services, and their philosophy. We also made sure it can be built on further in the future as they find the time and the resources to work on it more.
